A US college outdoors club is being disbanded because its activities, which include hiking, running and backpacking, are deemed too risky.
Pennsylvania State University officials said the group will be reconstituted to focus more on safety.
The 98-year-old Outing Club is one of three that will be disbanded from next semester: the caving and scuba clubs have also been deemed unsafe.

Will they disband the monkey bar climbing club too?
And the chalk board brush clapping society?
Harumph!

They already took down the climbing bars (don't call them monkey bars, that's racist) back in the '90s. And since the '00s, clapping erasers will get you arrested for terrorism.

Calling monkey bars, monkey bars is racist?!?!?!???? Monkeys are an entirely different species! I guess we should say flat bread instead of crackers then, because you know that's racist too.
